The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Due to the recession in the US, if the workers from foreign countries go back to their countries until the recession has ended, this will increase the availability of labor for the home country.

As the supply of labor increases, the nominal wages will decline. It will become cheaper for firms to hire more workers. As firms hire more and more workers, they will be able to produce more. So the short-run aggregate supply curve of the home country will move to the right.
